I turned in my two week notice today.
I wish I would have had a camera when I told my brow-beating boss. The look on her face was priceless. I think she crapped her pants too.

4. I'm now well (UNION) retired
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 07:14 PM by Ernesto
So I'm here to testify that some of my most gratifying moments were when I made "the move". Such a load off the shoulders! Especially when my new ex-boss to be realized that it was TOOOO late to "treat me right".
Congrats to you, Amigo!

9. You can say that again!
I gave notice myself a couple weeks ago, and even though I don't have anything lined up yet, I still feel more positive than I did when I was working at a job I was starting to hate.

10. Kudos!
:toast:

Did the same in July to my fascist geek former boss. I was hoping for along time off, but nooooo... a week later I was employed on contract elsewhere and making a lot more money. Sigh... rotten luck.

11. My funnest 2-weeks notice
When I told my boss I was quitting to work for the nonprofit I had been volunteering at for years, he said 'surely you won't be getting paid as much', and it felt soooo goood to say, 'actually, I am getting paid more there! And the benifits are better' - not that I get paid a whole lot now, but it sure got the point across that he was underpaying his employees.
